    Faa got a reaction from srapsak in LGA775 Core2Duo, Core2Quad OVERCLOCKING guide   
    Any reason you listed max safe voltage for C2Q 45nm 1.35V? Max safe voltage is 1.45V.. By the way, especially for this platform, I would first do small fft's in prime95 just to rule out the memory/and whatever again goes along with it and quickly getting an idea if the vcore was enough. Once that's stable, run blend and tweak the VTT/Dram voltage perhaps/NB. There are a few more voltages though like CPU GTL, DRAM GTL, Northbridge as well, on gigabyte boards its called reference, CPU GTL should be 0.67 of your VTT. Gigabyte boards were scaling this automatically like it should be set.

    Include the 1:1 cheat and explain why faster RAM can be needed to achieve higher clocks, you explained this already with the FSB. FSB is quad pumped by the way, so a FSB of 333MHz is 1333MHz (can be seen in GPU-z fsb vs rated fsb).

    1.40-1.45V for the FSB/NB/SB is quite a lot. I needed like 1.2-1.3V for the NB/SB for 447MHz/900MHz

    1.40V is fine for Haswell, 1.30V never been the limit other than thermal reasons, if you can manage the thermals 1.40V is damn safe

    Faa got a reaction from Brainiac777 in CPU Adaptive Voltage Explanation?   
    Yeah.. Wasn't detailed enough. By default its set to + mode, so it will rather overvolt the frequencies like 800MHz/1200MHz/1600MHz whatever you have. If you select the min mode it will undervolt it instead.
    What he has to do is; reset bios - select adaptive mode and only change the "additional turbo mode cpu core voltage" to whatever vcore he wants under full load like 1.25V. Just like MSI's implentation prokon was talking about. Heres a picture: http://i.imgur.com/ukxEQ58.jpg

    Faa got a reaction from D2ultima in Gaming performance between 4300 & 8350 and 4-threaded performance between AMD & Intel   
    Yeah we know there are 5 games atm that take advantage of 6-8 cores (next time don't copypaste the recommended requirements) where a 8350 would do much better than a 4300. We know a single module has only one FPU (>.>), so the difference is 2 vs 4 FPU's between a 4300 & 8350 so that's twice the throughput of a potential of having 100% more 4-threaded performance which could end up having twice as much FPS. Except that we are dealing with a FlexFPU that would work as a single 256bit with a single thread or split in two 128 bit FPU's with 2 threads. Now the difference between a 128 bit FPU & 256 bit FPU is almost nonexistent in most workloads and definitely games - saying there's just no difference between a 4300 & 8350 in every game out there except a few. With just 2 threads between a 8350 & 4300, there's just no difference unless you're a troll because we got 2 modules that can each take a thread. The advantage of a 8350 coming with 4 front-ends vs 2 front-ends starts from 3 threads but I'm limiting it to 4 threaded performance because anything up isn't relevant. The main reason why you're getting a slight performance advantage between 10-20% is due to that each thread can have her own dedicated front-end rather than 2 threads sharing each the same front-end that could potentially lead into the front-end bottlenecking (yes AMD front-ends are garbage).

    Benchmark time.

    Type of benchmark that's irrelevant here;



    As you can see all CPU's here are performing equally because the GPU was the bottleneck and at that point the CPU is irrelevant and therefore it doesn't prove a 4300 performs as good as a 8350 or the 8350 is better than the 4300. What we should focus on having all CPU's being the limiting factor so we can see the difference between x & y CPU. Starting off with a game that's only taking advantage of 2 cores and no more;



    We see here a large difference between a 8350 & 4790K definitely proving a 8350 was bottlenecking so we can start comparing the performance between a 8350 & 4300. No difference. Moving on to a 4-threaded game;



    10% for like 150$ more. WP, amazing value. Pay more for more cores for a better price/performance.



    I assume this is a game that takes advantage of 4 cores as the difference between the i3 & 4690K was large; no difference again.





    No difference.



    No difference.

    Dude showed his CPU usage so posting benchmarks from the ones I could find;



    All of them at the bottom.



    Just to put in a conclusion; the 8350 is an overpriced 4300. That FPU theory is flawed. If you are wondering the difference between a 4670K/4300, look up at synthetic benchmarks between the two to find out what the 4-threaded performance difference is as most games only take advantage of 1-4 threads and most reviewers testing Intel with the GPU being the bottleneck not even showing the full potential. The i5 easily gets twice the performance a 4300 can provide; http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1261?vs=700 

    Don't buy a 8350. It's nothing more or less than an old 2005 low-end CPU offering the worst gaming value (aside from the i7's).

    Faa got a reaction from max666 in Does overclocking raise my idle temps?   
    Speedstep just lowers the cpu clock when its not needed and therefore you don't need more voltage so it undervolts as well.
    Stock settings
    - 800MHz 0.70V
    - 1200MHz 0.83V
    - 2000MHz 0.9V
    - 2500MHz 0.95V
    - [max turbo] [programmed voltage in cpu which is different for each cpu] eg 3200MHz @ 1.12V
    If you apply an overclock now you just get a new line
    -[your OC] [your vcore you needed]
    So at idle or when browsing or just to be more precise when the cpu is clocked below your overclock (800-3200) there's no difference in heat. There would only be a difference when the CPU is clocked at your max OC eg 4500MHz@1.3V.

    Because a GPU always coil whines when it's producing ridiculous amount of frames like 1000 fps. 
    In my experience with nvidia I might have gone through 10 last 2-3 years they all coil whined like fuck under load except one card. They won't whine at idle though

    Well done, analyzing market share and concluding fanboys.  get with reality.    If someone has a keppler or later GPU then it is cheaper for them to buy a gsync monitor than it is to buy and AMD GPU and freesync monitor.   This is not being a fanboy this is being rational.

    From that quote it does mean that G-Sync fixes ghosting problems because G-Sync requires the G-Sync module. Therefore G-Sync fixes the ghosting problems.
     
     
     
    PcPer has shown that 2 FreeSync monitors from different manufactures have ghosting problems that is a fact. AMD even acknowledge that there is a ghosting problem on the FreeSync monitors. 
     
    Edit: hardware.fr is claiming in their review of the ACER XG270U also has ghosting too. That is now 3 monitors that have ghosting report on FreeSync monitors.

    CPU bottleneck; if the GPU operates at loads below 99% usage eg 50% (assuming vsync is off)
    GPU bottleneck; you always want the GPU at maximum load for maximum performance - if it is and you're not happy with its performance reduce settings or upgrade

    That's all about it. Don't bother monitoring the CPU usages, it's useless.

    secondly, you'd be better off focusing on what actually matters - cutting the cable from your electric company and cycling everywhere. The difference in a high performance amd pc and and a high performance intel/nvidia pc is negligible, and your fridge uses more electricity per month.

    This is a pretty exceptional test, seeing that most of these drives wrote hundreds of terabytes before failing, some even reaching a petabyte. Really shows how reliable SSD's actually are in today's age, as long as you go with a decent company. Only gripe is I wish they had a Crucial drive in the test, as I believe they are pretty big in the SSD game.

    They don't seem to be recommending their 980/Titan Z at all; http://www.geforce.com/hardware/help-me-choose-gpu
    But AMD on the other hand;

    Recommending their most expensive GPU's for their CPU's (the lowest 8xxx getting a 280 recommended means it bottlenecks a 290x) when the difference is 5% between the lowest FX8xxx & FX 9590, that's not going to lift a 80% bottleneck up compared to Intel.
    Ow, theyre also suggesting a 990FX (which doesn't have any advantages over 970 other than SLI/CF) and 2133MHz which doesnt again have any advantages over 1333MHz and the best part is their memory controller can't do 2133MHz (it's not even officially supported).
    Edit: Just saw your picture, only says which games you are getting from which card you buy. Trying to boost your sales offering free games is completely different than being honest and saying "look WoW is hardly a GPU limited game, a 750 will perform the same as a 970" just like what I just showed.
